Area: Selection 

Gatekeeper HG 1500  
Under HG 1500 Gatekeeper, select the HG 1500 board plugged into the communication system that is configured as a gatekeeper (see also Settings | Network | Gatekeeper).

Enable gateway resources flag  
The "Enable gateway resources" flag enables the DSP resources of the selected HG 1500 card. DSP resources are required for B channel connections (voice payload data) between TDM and IP devices. When the flag is activated, the DSP resource of the HG 1500 card can be used for voice payload data (requires B channel licenses for the HG 1500 card). To prevent loss of performance, it is recommended that this flag be deactivated in the case of large IP configurations with several HG 1500 cards. HG 1500 then "only" works in gatekeeper mode (to perform station registration/deregistration, call signaling, etc.). One gatekeeper is possible for each HiPath 3000 system. Additional HG 1500 cards then perform the gateway functions.
The following rules must be observed:
 •   In HiPath 3000 systems with a single HG 1500, the "Enable gateway resources" flag must be activated to facilitate combined gateway and gatekeeper functionality.
 •   In HiPath 3000 systems with several HG 1500 cards, the "Enable gateway resources" flag is used to define whether the selected HG 1500 only offers gatekeeper functionality or combined gateway and gatekeeper functionality.
In HiPath 3000 systems with several HG 1500 cards, internal resource management controls the allocation of calls and traffic to the individual HG 1500s.

Table: Stations 
This table displays all station ports which are free in the communication system and which can be configured, as well as all configured station ports for this card.

Selected station, System Client, H.323 Client, SIP Client Setup  
If System Client is selected, then all selected station ports are configured as system clients via Setup.
If H.323 Client is selected, all selected station ports are configured as H.323 clients via Setup. All H.323 clients are assigned the default IP address entered under the  Default H.323 Client  field under Program options General.
If SIP Client is activated, all selected station ports are configured via "Setup as SIP client".
The configuration of the System/H.323 clients occurs via Station view: Workpoint Client.

Selected station, Delete  
All selected station ports are deleted by pressing Delete.

Configured station  
This field shows the number of configured system clients, H.323 clients and SIP clients of the HG 1500 board.
